Canberra community group Females in Training (FIT) may not be well known but it is helping women of all ages and abilities take big strides physically and mentally, with coaching in cycling, swimming and running.
Just some examples: Weston business analyst and mum-of-two Sam Shields couldn't swim when she joined FIT, now she is regularly swimming two kilometres. Turner public servant Prue Guest was a strong swimmer and cyclist but not much of a runner in the beginning. Now, she's training for a half-marathon.
